Abstract

The present invention provides a method for transmitting and receiving a downlink signal between a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, and a device supporting the method. As a specific example, the present invention includes a method for: transmitting and receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal in an unlicensed band so that a base station and a terminal transmit and receive system information associated with a particular synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; and, based on the PDCCH signal, transmitting and receiving a PDSCH signal including the system information.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in a candidate resource region among a plurality of candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block; 
 obtaining a PBCH based on the SS/PBCH block; and 
 monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on at least one control resource set (CORESET), wherein the at least one CORESET is determined based on the PBCH, 
 wherein two candidate resource regions among the plurality of candidate resource regions are pre-defined within a time interval, wherein the time interval has a duration of 14 consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols indexed by OFDM symbol indices n=0, 1, 2, . . . , 13, 
 wherein a first candidate resource region among the two candidate resource regions has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=2 in the time interval, and a duration of the first candidate resource region is 4 symbols, 
 wherein a second candidate resource region among the two candidate resource regions has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=9 in the time interval, and a duration of the second candidate resource region is 4 symbols, 
 wherein a first CORESET for the PDCCH has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=0 in the time interval, and a duration of the first CORESET is 2 symbols, and 
 wherein a second CORESET for the PDCCH has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=7 in the time interval, and a duration of the second CORESET is 2 symbols. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein a number OFDM symbols that are configured for each search space set depends on a number of frequency-domain resource blocks (RBs) that are configured for the search space set. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein for a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 15 kHz and 30 kHz, two candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block are configured within the time interval,
 wherein one of the two candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=2 in the time interval, and 
 wherein another of the two candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=8 in the time interval. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH is transmitted based on a channel access procedure. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH comprises information regarding a resource allocation for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes system information. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 5 , wherein the system information includes remaining minimum system information (RMSI) that is not included in the SS/PBCH block. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to communicate with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, or a network. 
     
     
       8. A communication device configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:
 at least one transceiver; 
 at least one processor; and 
 at least one computer-readable memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising: 
 receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in a candidate resource region among a plurality of candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block; 
 obtaining a PBCH based on the SS/PBCH block; and 
 monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on at least one control resource set (CORESET), wherein the at least one CORESET is determined based on the PBCH,

 wherein a second CORESET for the PDCCH has an initial OFDM symbol at OFDM symbol index n=7 in the time interval, and a duration of the second CORESET is 2 symbols. 
 
     
     
       9. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 transmitting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in a candidate resource region among a plurality of candidate resource regions for the SS/PBCH block; and 
 transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on at least one control resource set (CORESET), wherein the at least one CORESET is related to a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) included in the SS/PBCH block,
